Summary
One highly skilledThe Witcher 3: Wild Huntfan has recently made a high-quality replica of the Crow’s Perch gate. His neat creation adds to the long list of impressive arts and crafts projects thatThe Witcher 3fandom has completed to date.
Crow’s Perch is a location that manyThe Witcher 3playersdiscovered fairly early during their adventures. It is a hold found in central Velen, the RPG’s second province, which is occupied by Phillip Strenger—better known as the Bloody Baron—during the events of the game.
The Witcher 3 Fan Creates Crow’s Perch Gate Replica With Styrofoam and Wood
One part of this iconiclocation fromThe Witcher 3was recently recreated in miniature form by YouTuber NoqualityDioramas, who took it upon himself to make a replica of the Crow’s Perch gate. The skilled fan created the diorama using extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam and wood, both of which were meticulously painted and primed to the point of exuding an impressive level of detail. The end result of his efforts is instantly recognizable as the entrance to the Bloody Baron’s palisade hold.
Crow’s Perch Castle Diorama Is Also in the Works
Reflecting on this achievement, NoqualityDioramas framed it as part of a much more ambitious project aiming to recreateCrow’s Perch fromThe Witcher 3in its entirety. The current plan is for the replica to be 1/72 in scale, much like this recently completed gate diorama. While the artisan did not commit to a firm time frame for the project’s completion, he did say that a full-fledged Crow’s Perch replica is bound to take “a lot of time.” In the meantime, NoqualityDioramas shared a detailed video documenting the process of creating the palisade hold’s gate via his YouTube channel. The 16-minute clip serves as a fairly comprehensive tutorial for how to follow in the content creator’s footsteps.
This high-quality replica of the Crow’s Perch gate is just the latest in a long string of amazing fan projects based on CDPR’s 2015 RPG.The Witcher 3has so far inspired impressive LEGO builds, sword replicas, fan art, cosplays, handmade trading cards, and figurines, among other creations.
And while the 2015 RPG is still the latest mainline entry in the series as of 2024, the franchise itself is far from dormant. On the contrary, threeThe Witchergames are being worked on right now. The one that’s in the most advanced stage of development isProject Sirius, which is the codename of the fourth mainline installment, which is also planned to serve as the beginning of another RPG trilogy. CD Projekt’s Boston-based studio The Molasses Flood is also presently working on a multiplayer spin-off code-namedProject Sirius, whereas a remake of the firstThe Witchergame is currently in pre-production at Polish developer Fool’s Theory.
